clearly waiting for the Berry family to emerge.


    Bryan stayed in the car, instructing his secretary to park in an inconspicuous spot where he could observe from a distance.


    Unable to decipher Aubree’s intentions, Bryan dared not act rashly. He could only wait in the car to see how events would


    unfold.


    After what felt like an eternity, the Berry family finally emerged from the police station, with Emery walking out alongside


    them.


    ‘Emery’s out?’ Bryan wondered, surprised.


    Watching this, Bryan grew even more confused about Aubree’s endgame. As far as he could tell, all her actions were meant to retaliate against their family, coborating with Anthony to put Emery behind bars.


    ‘What’s going on now?’ Frowning, Bryan sent thetest update to Ronald.


    Ronald replied almost immediately.


    Ronald: [What’s so hard to understand? Aubree’s still young and inexperienced in business. She probably thought the Berry family testimony would be enough to implicate Emery, not realizing the investigation would show he wasn’t primarily responsible.]
